I started to go to different conferences. Books and tapes were also pivotal for me, and counseling played a crucial part. I was able to find solid, legitimate support that helped me determine my sexuality in a way that lined up with my faith and desires.

Today I am happy, joyful, and feminine—all things that I never was while living as a lesbian. I am no longer sexually attracted to women. Rather, I am a strong advocate for their empowerment to overcome the effects of injustices against them.

My substance abuse and sex addiction were out of control because I was using them to cope with the pain. I found my salvation through faith-based resources... I've never been healthier in my life and I would never go back.

After three years of intensive counseling, support groups for individuals wanting to leave a homosexual lifestyle, reading books about the psychology of sexual desires, and learning how to have healthy friendships with men, I began dating women.
